On the origins of the Georgian alphabet
<> This is actually a challenged theory. The scholar Ramaz Pataridze argues, in his book on asumtavruli, that the Georgian script traces back at least to 5th BC, and was a pagan alphabet first. The origins of the Armenian alphabet are much clearer: the Monk Mesrop Mashtots took his inspiration from Asomtavruli to invent the Armenian alphabet.
